The Butterfly Trap

Part 5's

Already a week I was at the headquarters of the Aquarius faction, Red's state has slowly begun to improve, he can already rise to sit but still can not walk, he was not able to walk, I asked Penelope for help to help me keep an eye on her progress.

" I'll take a sample of Red's blood, can you help me?", I asked to prepare everything.

" Well, "he replied, asking Red for permission.

" How do you feel now sir?", I asked him, he replied with a faint and thin smile.

" It's better than yesterday" he replied.

I nodded my head, "We'll see the poison in your blood first, to eliminate this poison is quite time consuming, indeed, plus a purifier therapy afterwards to remove the toxic residue in your body".

" Thank you Miss Butterfly" she replied.

I fell silent and glanced at him in wonder.

" Why Butterfly?", I asked without thinking, everyone who met me called me by that name except Sir Claude.

" Isn't Butterfly your name?", she asked in surprise at my reaction, "Miss Penelope said so", she added.

I looked at Penelope, she just shrugged her shoulders.

" Everyone here knows you by the name of Butterfly, because Sir Nick told you" he finally said.

I chuckled, "My real name is Sicily".

" But may I call you Butterfly, the end sounds cute" she said with a sweet smile as she handed Red a blood sample.

" Whichever you like" I replied, taking a sample of the blood and putting it in the liquid tester.

" How? is the poison gone?" suddenly Z was already behind me, I was suffocated in shock.

" Geez sir, can you give me a cue before you speak?" my hiss with a chest massage.

' Why is he here? wh why? though I have been hard-earned to avoid it, aahhhhhhhh awkwardnya' I satin.

He looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"Ehem", I coughed a little, "Can you stay away a little Sir?" I said hinting with my hand to keep her distance.

" Why?"

' In fact why else, he who does not remember the incident last night where understand my awkward feelings'

" My concentration is so crumbling sir".

" Why?"

' Why else, anyway? this guy still seems to suspect me, how is this?', I sat down again, I twisted my brain, looking for a way for him to stop approaching me all of a sudden.

" I have no problem if you want to get close Sir", I replied with a nosy smile, I blinked my eyes a few times and held my cheeks with my hands.

" When else try I can get close to your handsome man, kyaaaa" I choked as I closed my eyes with my fingers, I pretended to be fascinated by him, I peeked at his reaction from behind my fingers, he helped , ' she said , his flat face turned sour and then moved away from me.

' Yesss succeeded' I thought as I held back a happy laugh and turned towards Penelope and Red, they looked at me with astonished eyes, Penelope tilted her head sideways, her eyeballs enlarged, his hand hinted at the question of whether I was still sane, or whether I was tired of living.

I answered him with a silent gesture.

" How much longer will it take for him to get back to normal?", asked Z in the end after he had moved to Red's bedside.

" It took a month for the drug to be able to bargain for the poison in his body, but it took three months for the purifier therapy so that he could act as usual".

" Why so long? didn't you say you were good at treating poisoning patients?"

' i am also a human sir, where might give medicine to patients and patients can be cured immediately, need a process, you think I am a god simsalabin directly healthy only?' answer me in my head.

" Since we can only bid the poison slowly sir, you know why linus leaves only grow in the monster territory which incidentally is filled with poisonous plants and animals?" I answered while trying to smile even though I had my head I had sworn it a few times.

" Because the use of linus leaves that do not match the dose can cause patients to experience severe hallucinations, plus this drug can make users addicted so they no longer want to eat healthy foods and just want to consume these leaves".

" So that means these linus leaves are also poisonous plants?" penelope said before Z opened his mouth.

" Yes, that's why we fight poison with poison, that's how the formula is, sometimes something that we think is toxic and bad actually gives a positive thing, depending on how we handle it" I replied wisely.

Penelope nodded in understanding, Red looked at me with a smile and a amazed look while Z only looked at me with a view that I could not understand, then Penelope gave a container containing the antidote to Red, which was the antidote, he drank it with one gulp.

" Then why is the purifier therapy longer than taking antidotes?"

" There are two reasons why garaga Q is a dangerous poison, first if this poison is ingested in large quantities then the main organs of the body attacked are the blood vessels that go to the kidneys, and the blood vessels that go to the kidneys, wh why? because the kidney is an organ of our body that serves as a blood filter, if the kidneys have failed to do their function then there are various other diseases, including, then the second is if this Q garage is only inhaled by a person who is a awakener, then his body will push the person to a state of berserk, berserk, as we know the berserk condition is a very dangerous condition for the awakener" I replied explained at length.

" While Sir Red is a awakener, although the poison is gone, the residue is still left in the body, if left alone then within two months Sir Red will be in a berserk condition, because it was triggered by Garaga Q, the condition would get worse every day until he turned into a monster" I added.

" Why then does Sir Red not show any signs of berserk now?" ask Penelope.

" I assume that the positive side of this garaga Q toxin can suppress the condition of awakeners who experience berserk stage four temporarily but this poison should not linger in the body because it can result in all the organs in the body will stop functioning".

They nodded in a sign of understanding.

" That's why the Pisces faction didn't use this poison to handle the berserk crew because until now they haven't found the antidote" I added, then I asked Red to lie down again.

I checked her heartbeat from her wrist while closing her eyes, I nodded slowly then covered her chest with a blanket then left her alone followed by Z and Penelope.

Corridor Z stopped me.

" You come with me" he said, hinting me to follow him, I nodded and walked behind him after saying goodbye to Penelope.

We entered his study, he asked me to sit down, then gave him a small cage containing a white rabbit.

" this?"

" You can keep it" he answered walking to his desk.

" Isn't this your food reserve sir?" ask me with a plain grin.

' What wind is there? why is he so good that he gave this cute bunny to me? why has he been acting so strange lately, I thought.

He never looked at me again sharply but rather at a gaze that I did not understand what he meant, sometimes he approached me at a very close distance and then looked at me for a long time and left me astonished.

The door was knocked from the outside, after hearing the incoming order from Z, Claude entered with a small book and some sheets of paper.

" Have you got any idea how Red poisoned Miss?" claude asked after she sat down, Z joined Claude to sit opposite me.

" I've asked Sir Red, he said he loves sweets, and he always drinks iced tea every time he eats dessert, according to my analysis it is possible that the perpetrator used this habit of Sir Red as an intermediary to poison him, if my guess is correct, the perpetrator put the poison into the water to be frozen into ice cubes, hence the poison was not detected by Sir Red who was a Healer", I explained at length.

They're mangosteen.

" We'll discuss it again later!" z replied as he stood up, "At least we've got Clue's importance".

" In that case, am I allowed to return to the Capital Sir? I've made a dose of the antidote Sir Red, Miss Penelope can handle it and you've also found the clue who did it, isn't my job here done?" I asked Claude with a big smile.

" No, not yet!" z looked at me.

I peeled it in my head but still with a beaming smile I stood up and approached it, "Sir, I don't want to linger here, I'm very happy to linger near you", I nodded my head, "but I have a very important thing that I have to do in Capital".

He glanced at me with a flat face, then turned his body to face me, now I realize that the man is very tall, all this time he always tried to approach me but he always bent his body so that I did not pay too much attention to our high distance.

I was the only one who looked up to look into his eyes.

" You still want to continue your illegal medical practice after what you've been through?" after a few seconds, our eyes met.

" Of course not sir, there's something else I have to do".

He was still looking at me then touching my head with his hands, I was reflexively stepping back, he who was shocked to see my reaction looked towards his hand that was touching me with a confused face.

' What the hell, he who holds first he is also confused, he why the hell?' my thinking.

" Ummm" I looked at him with a grin, "I'm sorry sir, I'm not used to being touched by people, so I'm a reflex to sniff".

He's still staring at his hand.

I looked at Claude, he seemed to be not questioning my actions, "Wouldn't it be better to let Miss Sicily return to the Capital first, later if we need her again we call her back" he said.

' good job Sir Claude' I said with my eyes to him.

" Wait until Red's poison is completely gone, Miss Penelope does not have adequate knowledge of this poison, we need Red to be able to continue the mission and we still desperately need Miss Butterfly's analysis to be able to solve this case" Z replied.

I raised my upper lip, why did she follow me Butterfly, I thought.

" And again you have to look after the rabbit, if there's anything wrong with him I'll make the calculations with you"

" Aw sir, how could I abandon a gift from you? I will risk my soul and body to take care of and care for it wholeheartedly" I replied with a wide smile.

" Can you allow me to come back?" added me pleading this time with this a little with a seducing tone.

He was just silent as he walked towards his desk but I could see the bright end of his lips.

' Is he smiling? he's smiling?' i'm entangling.

" If you have nothing else to say, please return to your activities" he said after he sat down at his desk.

With a soft face I went to the door and slammed hard on the door of the room, my face reddened with my frustration, I lifted the cage containing the rabbit.

" Why is your master so annoying huh?" I said to the rabbit, he was the one who initially saw me twisting his body.

" You're just like your master, from now on I'll call you junior Z master" I snorted, then moved towards my room.

***

" Would you not accompany me around?" asked Penelope as she visited my room, "You haven't seen the sights in this castle, have you?"

I'm shaking.

" You know, Duke Abelard's castle is very spacious, this building is only a small part of the Aquarius headquarters that is reserved for visiting guests, if we walk through this castle, if we walk around, maybe we'll meet her." she stopped her words that made me curious.

He approached me, "I heard as long as the Duke went to the South, the one in control within the faction was young Duke Abelard", he whispered.

" then?"

" Don't you know that the young Duke is no less handsome than Commander Z?, in the Capital people call them handsome people born in the wrong place".

" reason?" I'm starting to get interested in the story.

" Since the Commander who was born in an area full of trees and flowers has a cold nature like ice in the northern area while the young Duke who was born in the north has a friendly nature like the quiet season in the Capital" inexplicably.

I became curious about the man he mentioned, then I giggled at the thought of Sir Z with his friendly nature, which would be terrible, I thought.

I then followed him for a walk around the castle, just a snow-white expanse adorning the grounds of the castle, the castle was very spacious, we continued walking while chatting until finally Penelope was pecking, I who realized it was looking at him, his face flushed forward, not far from where we were standing was a black-haired young man staring far south.

The man wore a white knight uniform with blue decorations, signifying that he was a knight of the Aquarius faction who was identical to white and blue, his body was tall, his hands were carried behind, and he was holding his back, sometimes he closes his eyes with a smile.

He turned to us after realizing two pairs of eyes were watching him and walked towards us.

" Hey Miss Penelope", she said after arriving, she smiled kindly, her smiling eyes and her dimples added a sweet look to her face.

' Ah so this is the spring guy? her smile was absolutely dazzling, I thought.

" Greetings to the young Duke Abelard", Penelope saluted him with a blushing face, imitating the way she greeted the man, waving her hands and looking at me, I, who was glimpsed by the handsome man, became nervous.

" sa...Sayaaa Butter", I slapped my mouth that spoke stammeringly, "Sicilian Sir", I said at last as I touched my chest with my hands.

" Sicilian Butter?", he chuckled, "That's an interesting name".

Faced with a man like him leaving me at a loss for words, now that I understood why Penelope was taking me around, I glanced at Penelope who was still smiling with a reddened face to her.

" I mean, my name is Sicily, but here it is better known as the Butterfly Sir", I replied.

She nodded small, a friendly smile yet to disappear from her face, "Do you guys want to go around?"

We nodded.

" Well, today I'm going to be a guide".

" No sir, we don't want to trouble you!" Penelope replied quickly but in contrast to what she said, she stepped beside the Young Duke.

" It's okay"

" Well if you insist", he said shyly, then he urged me to leave them both with his eyes.

I replied with a look why?

He who saw my answer raised his eyeballs, turned his head and eyeballs to the side, a cue quickly departed.

" That Sir, I wanted to meet Sir Clude first, I felt hard leaving you two, but I just remembered there was something I had to discuss with him" I said with an awkward smile.

" Alright then" he said as he directed Penelope to follow him.

After they walked away I clucked, "It's pretty obvious that he likes that guy".

I shook my head, still looking at the backs of those who were away, Penelope turned back and gave her thumbs to me, I nodded then turned around to go back to the building where I was staying but my face hit something hard and solid.
